I am the founder and the organizer of : Iartexpo art as a bridge for peace, International art expo and exhibit,a non profit organization,to help Israelis and Palestinians artists, to exhibit together to dialogue together.. Here in Israel.and (hope) in Ramallah

Dear Sarah, thank you for the add. I am wondering when will the world let Israel live its own life.....in peace but be allowed to defend itself without having to justify himself. Maybe then, the government and the army, will be less aggressive...wish you and your people all the peace you deserve.

A True Story By Faisal Al-kateep
I am a Palestinian Arab from Hizmeh, a village between Jerusalem and Ramallah. When I was 15 years old I fought against the Israeli Occupation in search of freedom. At that time I thought every Jewish person, whether soldier or citizen, man or woman, young or old, should be killed. I rejected the right for any Jew to live and every Jew was a target. I was just a kid, believe me, and I didn’t understand anything about politics or the Arab-Israeli conflict. I was arrested and sat in jail for 12 years. This was during the first intifada from 1987. At that time nobody talked about peace but only of violence. I matured during my time in jail. I started studying and reading books on politics, literature, poetry, and about the Madrid Conference.

It gave me hope to live in peace and dignity. I learned that violence only breeds violence and that peace is the only solution for the two nations, the only way for both to have a respectful and beautiful future. We live on the same land. We are neighbors. We drink the same water and both pray to a monotheistic God. We must live in peace on the basis of religion for God and land for everyone.
